Jiang Yashuang's estimate was really right, Qiu Yulan tidied up her dress and walked outside, summoned someone from the Xiao Tao clan to come in, and figured out the ins and outs of the matter without asking a few words - Jiang Yadan took advantage of the chaos last night to sleep with Shui Jin's henchman Wan'er!

Then this Wan'er ran out of the Qin State Mansion...... Cast in a small forest two blocks away!

"......" After Qiu Yulan listened, he was speechless for a long time, and only asked for a while, "What now?" ”

"Wan'er is very relied on by the fourteenth young lady, and when she found out that she was missing this morning, she was very worried, and even sent someone to the Marquis of Jingchuan to borrow a mastiff from the Marquis of Ling, and then she was found...... "The subordinate smiled bitterly, "So I know it's the eighth prince...... After that, he went to the old lady and cried and asked to be in charge. ”

"Our young lady has been paying for the gift for half a day, but the fourteenth young lady has always refused to let go, knowing that you have a good relationship with her, ...... the next person said this, and saw a wry smile on Qiu Yulan's face: "No matter how good the relationship is, I have only known each other for two or three years, and the eighth sister-in-law has always been familiar with her." She can't persuade her, how can I have this face? ”

Having said that, the eldest sister-in-law in this room sent someone to ask for help, and Qiu Yulan didn't want to ignore it: "I remember that the fourteenth sister-in-law has always taken nineteen as her own brother's pain, so you go back first, I will change my clothes, and ask nineteen if I want to go to my grandmother to say goodbye together." ”

She only passed the door yesterday, and she hasn't even walked through her yard, where can she recognize the old lady's residence?

After sending Xiao Tao's people, Qiu Yulan went inside to tell Jiang Yashuang what had happened, and Jiang Yashuang also felt vomiting blood: "There are so many people in the family, who is not good at accepting it, but the people who go to move the fourteenth sister-in-law...... I remember that the person in front of my fourteenth sister-in-law was not only her close attendant, but also her helper in business, and once upon a time, there was an official who was in the prime of life and had no heirs, and asked Uncle Cheng to marry a wife, but she rejected it...... I don't know what the fourteenth sister-in-law is angry about now! ”

Qiu Yulan sighed: "Otherwise, the eighth sister-in-law wouldn't have come to us." It seems that when we were in my uncle's mansion, we made trouble with my grandmother, how could my grandmother not help the round? Hasn't this dragged on until now? ”

According to Jiang Yashuang's statement, this Wan'er is not only a maid, but also a powerful arm in the business with water and gold, the discovery and cultivation of this kind of talent not only takes a long time, but also depends on luck - as a result, one was accidentally killed by Jiang Yadan, even if he doesn't mention feelings and only talks about interests - who can not be crazy if he changes? !

"But let's go, the fourteenth sister-in-law should take advantage of the situation to step down." Jiang Yashuang stood up, her face was ugly, "After all, the maid can't compare with the starling, she has been sad for a long time, and it is impossible to continue to make trouble at her grandmother's all night!" The problem is, even if the fourteenth sister-in-law gives us face this time, it's really hard to say what the starling thinks when I look back. ”

Heshui Jin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although she can't do anything to kill Jiang Yadan to avenge her maid, but it should be no problem to find some trouble for Jiang Yadan often.

Especially-now Qin Guogong's internal affairs, but she is in charge! If you want to rectify Jiang Yadan, you have a chance! Maybe even Xiao Tao and the entire four rooms will be involved at that time......

“…… Hengzhu can't help but go, let's do this thing first, and then go back to the grievances of the fourteenth sister-in-law...... Let's take it slowly! Qiu Yulan rubbed his forehead and said stupidly.

The two went to the main room where Mrs. Tao lived, and when they entered the door, they heard a whimpering cry.

When I entered the house, I saw the old lady Tao sitting upright, with a strong fighting spirit on her face.

He Shuijin and Xiao Tao both had loose sideburns, kneeling in front of her on the left and right, the former told the innocence and tragic death of his maid, and the latter was ashamed to make amends...... Qiu Yulan looked around, but didn't see the party Jiang Yadan!

"You're here?" Old Madam Tao was obviously relieved to see them go in, and hurriedly handed over a look, "Quick, come and persuade your two sisters-in-law...... It's been a sad afternoon, poor girl, you have to take care of yourself! ”

Jiang Yashuang stepped forward with Qiu Yulan, coaxed and persuaded him, and Qiu Yulan dragged the two of them up again and sat on the seat...... In short, as Jiang Yashuang expected, after the two of them talked hard, he Shui Jin whimpered and gradually stopped, and said a little about Wan'er's well-behaved and capable, and said to Mrs. Tao and Xiao Tao: "Starling's sex. It's not that I don't know, it's also that I was too busy last night to notice when Wan'er didn't see me...... Although this maid beats me and serves me, I think she is the same as her own sister, but after all, she is a subordinate, and it is not good to compare with the starling, do I dare to let the starling give her life? ”

She sniffed and said sadly, "I just want to ask Brother Starling face to face, there are so many people in his backyard, and he is no stranger to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion outside, why do you have to pick on my people?!" But it's been like this for a long time, grandmother, how many people have you and your eighth sister-in-law sent to find it? I can't find any of them, I know that my grandmother and sister-in-law won't lie to me, so it can be seen that the starling brother is deliberately hiding...... What's the matter?! ”

Xiao Tao had nothing to say, and repeatedly made amends, and promised to compensate and collect the funeral for Wan'er's good life, and buried it in the name of Jiangya Dangui's concubine - He Shuijin breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said: "The kindness of the eighth sister-in-law, I understand it on behalf of Wan'er." It's just that since she went out to vote, it can be seen that she doesn't want to be a starling. So, let's just use her real name to bury her! ”

Qiu Yulan thought that this was the right thing, and that Wan'er was unwilling to be humiliated. As much as possible, how can it be rare to have the title of a concubine?!

Old Madam Tao sighed: "This time, Xiaoba really can't stand your master and servant, and blame me and your grandfather for failing to teach him well." ”

"Grandmother, you are serious, how dare your granddaughter-in-law be?" And Shui Jin busy.

At this point, the matter is almost over.

Everyone comforted the Heshui Jin Club together, and Heshui Jin borrowed the donkey to accept the reparation of the Xiao Tao clan on behalf of Jiang Yadan: "What else can you say now?" It's Wan'er's own blessing! Originally, I promised her that I would let her go home in two more years, and let her marry her cousin who had been her for five years...... Right now...... Alas, every man has a life, and he will not mention it. ”

did not shirk the compensation that Dow said, "Her family is quite poor, so she will sell. Come to my home and serve me. After all, the master and servant, I will handle the burial, I don't want you to write a penny here, but I accepted the money you gave on her behalf, and sent it back to her home. ”

Although she knew that she must still be resentful in her heart, the scene had already been covered. Old Madam Tao looked at the sky, symbolically proposed to keep the meal, and after being rejected by the four juniors, she didn't say anything: "It's raining, be careful when you go back." ”

"Yes!"

Out of the old lady's courtyard, Xiao Tao asked He Shuijin: "Fourteen brothers and sisters, I will send you back?" ”

"No need." He Shuijin shook his head, "It's just a row of yards before and after, and the eighth sister-in-law is also very tired today, right?" ”

Xiao Tao smiled awkwardly, not sure whether she was teasing or unintentional, so she had to be silent.

Because the Guogong Mansion has become the courtyard where the children of the family live, they gather according to their generations, so the four of them will walk together for a long time.

But at the end of the day, I was tired, so a group of people just walked silently.

However, when he arrived at an open and uninhabited place, He Shuijin suddenly stood on his feet and ordered his subordinates to retreat into the distance.

Xiao Tao, Jiang Yashuang, and Qiu Yulan were slightly surprised, and they groaned and ordered their subordinates in the same way, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Today, my grandfather gave your crested hairpin to the nineteenth brother and sister, and the big house wanted to make a dowry for Huizhi." He Shuijin was in a bad mood, and now that it was getting late, she didn't say anything and went straight to the point, "But my grandmother didn't like Dou's tone at that time, so she didn't tell my grandfather." But this time my grandfather gave you the nineteenth brother and sister, you had better be careful in the future, not only yourself, but also the people around you! ”

Qiu Yulan was about to say something, and Shui Jin followed, "Don't be like me this time, if you are not careful, Wan'er will be cheated, not to mention losing her life, and let the starling carry the black pot!" ”

"What?!" Xiao Tao exclaimed, and Jiang Yashuang also asked unexpectedly: "Fourteenth sister-in-law, do you mean that Wan'er is not a starling?" ”

"I don't know if it's him!" He Shuijin's face was grim, and he sneered, "But it definitely has something to do with the Dou family!" ”

Although she is not close to the big house because she is the daughter-in-law of the third room, she usually mentions that the Dou family also respectfully calls her "aunt", and at this moment, a "Dou family" can be seen to be hated!

"They probably thought that I was so busy last night, and there were so many people, when Wan'er walked away from me and was called away by someone, I must not have time to notice!" He Shuijin gritted his teeth and said, "This group of wastes also underestimates me!" I took the Jiang family's general ledger before I passed the door, what did I rely on?! By virtue of the fact that I am better than all the top and bottom stewards combined! Wan'er left twice last night, and the second time she left, she never returned—I remember the hours of both times! Not to mention people!

"At that time, it was Xiao Dou's family who made the child cry when he hugged the little grandson of Zhao Guogong's family, and a group of female relatives surrounded and coaxed, I saw that they couldn't coax, so I went to take a hand...... At that time, although there were more than a dozen people around me, including the master and servants, I caught a clear glimpse of Wan'er being attached to a steward in the big room for a moment, and then followed him out! ”

Speaking of this, she burst into tears again, choked up, "The person I brought out, what kind of sex. I don't know! Wan'er, even if she wants to do something like this. At the end of the day, I will definitely leave a letter to explain what happened! Absolutely not to say hello without saying a word...... Moreover, the Guogong Mansion is so big, are you afraid that you can't find a remote corner? Why did she run outside? Especially at that late! She's not afraid to run into anyone else?! ”

"The fourteenth sister-in-law is saying that Wan'er is not self-taught at all. End, is it by someone? Qiu Yulan asked with a solemn expression.

"Not bad!" He Shuijin wiped his face and gritted his teeth, "Why is she outside the Guogong Mansion instead of inside the Guogong Mansion?" Because yesterday was your big day, if she died in this mansion, her grandfather and grandmother would be furious, and she would definitely investigate it thoroughly - when the time comes, the big house will reveal a flaw in the matter of planting starlings! But when she dies outside, although her grandfather and grandmother will be unhappy, they will choose to settle down, so as not to sweep away the joy of the family! ”

"That's why I've been making a fuss just now to make it clear to the starlings face to face!" He Shuijin looked at Xiao Tao, whose face was pale, and said in a low voice, "First, I came to make trouble for the big house, and secondly, I really want to ask the starling brother - I know that he was drunk yesterday in order to block the wine for Nineteen, and he was not dragging Wan'er's underwear in his hand when he was found by his subordinates, I'm afraid he won't admit to moving Wan'er!" But, maybe he thought about it and remembered some clues? ”

Xiao Tao's lips trembled, and he said astringently after a while: "I'll turn around...... Tell him for you! ”

"Don't!" Jiang Yashuang shook her head, "Since he was a child, whenever he gets into trouble and wants to be beaten, it is all the uncle and aunt who stop him!" So he always felt that the uncle was very good...... Eighth sister-in-law, this can only be done in your own name, and the suspicion of the fourteenth sister-in-law must not be told to him! ”

"I've wronged my sister-in-law today." He Shuijin calmed down and said apologetically, "Although I think there is a high probability that the starling brother has been calculated, ...... There is no evidence not to say, grandfather there...... I think about it or I will plan it. It's just that I didn't have time to tell my sister-in-law in advance before, but my sister-in-law was tired of accompanying me for half a day. ”

looked at Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yanlan, "I still want you to run this trip." ”

"If you don't run this trip, you don't know that you will greatly offend people before entering the door!" Qiu Yulan snorted coldly in his heart, and said on his face: "Fourteen sister-in-law's words are too outward. ”

"In short, this incident is clearly that Dafang deliberately wants to provoke the relationship between our two rooms! After so many years, how is my grandfather staying in the big house, the deaf are like thunder! They have no conscience! He Shuijin sighed, and said, "We are all grandfathers, and I won't say much about the side - my relationship with Wan'er, my cultivation of her hard work, I will never let go of Dafang this time, and please also ask the eighth sister-in-law, nineteenth brother and nineteenth brother and sister to pay attention to things in the future, since Dafang plans to divide us, I'm afraid it won't only harm one Wan'er!" ”

…… When they returned to the courtyard where they lived, Jiang Yashuang's former big maid Caiqi came up to greet her: "The maid has the courage to make the decision for dinner, and it is placed in the pavilion on the rockery, because the sky is strange and stuffy, and there is wind there, blowing refreshingly." ”

Both of them had no opinion, and when they sat down in the pavilion, the gusts of smoke and wind carried the cool rain, which seemed to float into the pavilion, and it was really indescribably comfortable.

"Houmen is as deep as the sea." Qiu Yulan played with the small porcelain cup, looking at the continuous buildings and flowers and trees of the huge Guogong Mansion outlined by the lights far and near in the rain, and couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Yashuang knew that she meant the inside story of Wan'er's murder that she confided in Shui Jin, pondered for a while, and asked her subordinates to retreat to the rockery after finishing the meal, and said lightly: "It's deeper than you think - you just passed the door, and you don't know much about the people and things at home, and you're tired today, so I didn't pay attention to it, and what the fourteenth sister-in-law said just now has no evidence!" It's all her family's words! ”

"......" Qiu Yulan's hand turning the porcelain cup suddenly stopped, and looked at him in surprise.

Jiang Yashuang looked at the rain curtain outside the pavilion with heavy eyes: "Wan'er may have been harmed by the starling; It may be a victim of a large house; It may even be that after the fourteenth sister-in-law came out and sacrificed, in order to tell us what she said today! ”

Qiu Yulan's heart was racing: "Because...... Because of his father, he is in charge of the Zhenbei Army? ”

"Not bad!" Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "Because of my grandfather's consistent attitude, although the third uncle is unwilling, he has been pressed by the uncle. He really wanted our father to be on his side...... But my father just wants to take care of the Zhenbei Army, and doesn't want to be dragged into the water. So whether it's a big room or a third room, you can listen to it in the future, don't believe it too much! Don't even make promises! ”

“…… I know. Qiu Yulan looked at the shadows and shadows in the dark night - during the day, he looked at the willows and flowers, and the golden towers, in this heavy and rainy night, but they all seemed to be thousands of mountains and mountains in the distance, complex and deep, and malicious intentions were hidden.

Where the lights are lit, the drizzle is like a silver thread, and it is dyed by the firelight like a green and faint mist. The vague and chaotic halos in the night, like the hearts of people in this mansion, are obscure and unpredictable.
